When Work Takes Over Life
Organizations in the 21st century are driven by young blood and relentless pace. It means revenue figures are pumped up significantly by individuals burning the midnight oil. This input is more than adequately rewarded by cash and non-cash benefits, and that is how the story ends on a happy and rich note.
Oh, but wait! We forgot to mention the climax! While blood and sweat flows out and cash flows in, something goes missing. Life, or rather the privilege of 'living the life'.
Without even realizing it, we have restricted our real worlds pitifully. Work, home, work. That kind of sums it up. To make matters worse, our virtual worlds are getting stronger and stronger, burning whatever is left of the real world. Friends and family are 'connected' through Facebook, twitter, my space, google + and now pinterest. It's sad how gardens and play areas are replaced by FarmVille and shopping with girlfriends by It Girl.
All of this combined has shrunk our world and available exposure in an oxymoronic way. While the world is a mere click away, people are frustratingly out of reach. It feels like people, experiences and development opportunities are slipping away to be replaced by Apps and professional slavery.
I, at least, am looking for an escape before suffocation and confinement kills me. But I wonder...will I have anyone to share this freedom with?

:P
I don't feel like writing anything too serious today. I'll just keep typing into this laptop to fill up the space in my head that creeps and crawls. I have plenty to say, too much in fact. But it's not going on the Internet. Sorry but my ever so interesting life story is not something I'll put on here. I know all about tearing my heart out and wearing it on my sleeve for complete strangers. I'm the master of TMI ("too much information") and I ramble as bad in conversation as I do online. But the person I am changes too fast to even keep track of anymore these days. I will say this though: for someone so young I've lived a rather full and complex life. Even though I've barely lived at all I could die with a smile on my face today, I've made my mark and changed cold hearts with my compassion as well as hardened hearts with my malice. I can finally view existence as something that makes sense and remembered that believing in myself is the only thing that ever made sense to me.
